Aviation, more than other forms of travel, has inherent risks or danger involved with it. The idea is to plan for and mitigate those risks so as to not be caught off guard if something should go wrong. In essence, be prepared. One of the best ways to be prepared is to be properly trained and have equipment to help you if you should encounter problem. Having the right tools and knowing how to use them is half the battle in a survival situation. If an aircraft goes down in an unforgiving area, the situation can be much easier to deal with if survival gear is available. A survival kit can be purchased and custom tailored by adding to it essential equipment that might pertain to the terrain or area the aircraft flies over.
Different survival gear is available to make any situation more survivable. Guides and books are also available to help in a survival situation where many people never expect to find themselves.
